📘 17.Qe4!
A multi-purpose move:
- Attacking the b7 and g6-pawn.
- Protecting his own king against any sudden attack like Nf6 and Qg4.

White could have easily drawn the game by 28.Nb5 or 28.Re3. Now, unfortunately, the game is over.

📕13...g5!
This allows Black to set up a strong pawn front on the kingside and also misplaces the knight. No hurry to remove the d6 pawn which is going nowhere.

📕21...g4!
An excellent pawn sacrifice which effectively kills the h2 bishop as an offensive force. 22.hxg4 (22.Bxg4 Ne4! 23.Qe3 f5 24.Bf3 Qxc3 25.Qxc3 Nxc3-/+) 22...f5!
